#173944 - I don't think that's strictly true

UK employment law considers non-compete clauses to be illegal because they prescribe a person's employability. This has been tested in UK courts.

I think that's only if it unreasonably restricts a person's employability.

It certainly doesn't give a company carte blanche to gain access to a competitor's trade secrets by head-hunting their key employees...

A former employer does still have the right to expect that you will keep their secrets secret!
